4. Gravel Road

After his arrival in Rolt Bay, Ezai attained vital information about the gems and where the next one might be. He also learned about another location that may have even better information but the only way there, is a road, a road that is covered with little rocks and dirt. Will Ezai make it to Inromia in one piece?.

"Ok, Roy said this path leads to a place called "Inromia", but he also said, this path makes whoever walk it sleepy?. I wonder if it's true or not?. Ezai said

- Within a few seconds of standing, a mysterious fog appeared. -

"Huh, where did this fog come from?" Ezai wondered

"HEY YOU!!!!!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!!"

Ezai heard a loud voice, but he didn't know where it was coming from. He didn't see anybody standing there, or anybody coming. Ezai still doesn't know where the fog was coming from and on top of that, a mysterious voice.

"What was that voice?, it kind of sounded like it was coming from below me? Ezai wondered

- The ground began to rumble and shake. -

"WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!!!!!" Ezai screamed

- In a matter of seconds, Ezai began to get blurry vision, it seems the legend was true. Ezai is now getting sleepy. -

"I'M....GET.....TING.....SLE...EPY....." Ezai mumbled as he fell asleep

☆ EZAI's DREAM ☆

"WAKE UP!!!!!, WAKE UP EZAI, IT'S TIME TO GET UP!!!!!!!!."

"IF YOU DON'T GET UP, YOU WILL DIE."

"Huh?, what are you talking about? I'm not going to die." Ezai responded

Ezai saw a ghostly figure in his dream-like state, it was warning him that he is in trouble.

"What is this place anyway?, this doesn't look like anything I seen before." Ezai said

"EZAI!!!!!", RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!"

"Who's there?" Ezai said as he turned around

Soon as Ezai turned around, a giant hand shaped rock punched Ezai in the face, but before it could hit, Ezai jumped up out of sleep, as he gasps for air.

- Gravel Road -

"What was that about?. I almost got punched by a bunch of rocks. Ezai explained

"Why was that ghost warning me? Most importantly, who was that?. She had long white hair, bloodshot eyes, crying blood, and she was wearing a long white robe which was also covered in blood. But what stood out was the amount of dirt on her face." Ezai wondered

"LEAVE NOW!!!!!!"

IGNORING THAT LAST VOICE, Ezai continued towards the next destination.

Ezai felt another rumble but this time it was more violent than the last. Suddenly, huge amounts of rocks started falling from the sky, but instead of falling straight to the ground, it formed a giant rock golem. It quickly threw a punch at Ezai, knocking Ezai to the floor with massive force.

"AHH!!!!, what is this. A rock golem?

Ezai quickly took out the Blade of Algori, after he took it out, the golem began yelling at the top of it's lungs. The sounds were extremely loud, so loud, Ezai had no choice but to drop the Blade of Algori and cover his ears.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!, DAMN IT!!!!!" Ezai screamed in pain

With Ezai on the floor now, the golem showed no mercy, he jumped at Ezai and slammed Ezai to the floor. Ezai coughed up massive amounts of blood.

"EZAI!!! I know why your here." The golem said

Ezai got up off the floor, he quickly picked up the Blade of Algori, and he swung it at the golem. It quickly got destroyed.

"DAMN!!!!!, that was a close one." Ezai said, as he wiped the blood from his mouth

Ezai continued on. He started to walk for about 10 minutes.

"That golem was very strong." Ezai said

Suddenly, without warning, Ezai was punched at the side of his face, by another giant golem. The only difference is, this one was a little bigger. Ezai flew through a bunch of trees. Ezai once again, cough up a lot of blood.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!, todays not my day huh. Fine. Enough playing around." Ezai said as he got up off the ground

Ezai place two of the gems into the Blade of Algori and the blade turned a bright purple color while the tip of the blade turned grey. The blade emitted a red fog. Ezai ran towards the golem.

The golem screamed, causing Ezai to drop to the floor, but Ezai took the pain as he jumped up into the sky and came down.

"DDDDIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Ezai screamed as he came down like a spinning missile cutting the golems body down the middle causing a massive explosion. He quickly took out the gems.

"What is with these golems." Ezai said out of breath

Just like before, the mysterious fog reappeared, but this time, it was more dense than before.

"Not this again. The fog came back" Ezai said

"Does that mean...DAMN!!!!!!." Ezai screamed

The ground began to rumble and shake more violently than before. It was so violent, the ground split, cracks were all over the floor. In a matter of seconds, Ezai began to get blurry vision, Ezai is now getting sleepy.

"I'M....GET.....TING.....SLE...EPY.....AGAIN....." Ezai mumbled as he fell asleep

☆ EZAI's DREAM ☆

"WAKE UP!!!!!!!, WAKE UP EZAI, IT'S TIME TO GET UP!!!!!!!!!."

"IF YOU DON'T GET UP, YOU WILL DIE."

"LEAVE NOW WHILE YOU CAN!!!!"

"SOMETHING DANGEROUS IS UP AHEAD!!!!!!"

"Huh?, what are you talking about? I'm not going to die." Ezai responded

Ezai saw the same ghostly figure in his dream-like state like before, it was warning him that he is in serious trouble, more trouble than before.

Desperate trying to save Ezai, the ghostly figure, screamed at a very high pitch, so loud, Ezai's ears began to bleed. The ghostly figure charged at Ezai, but before it could do further damage, Ezai jumped up out of sleep, gasping for air.

- Gravel Road -

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!, DAMN IT!!!!!!!!" Ezai screamed in pain, as he wipes the blood from his ears

"I got to get out of this place" Ezai added

Ezai felt another rumble but this time it was more violent than the last. Suddenly, huge amounts of rocks started falling from the sky, but instead of falling straight to the ground, it formed a giant rock golem. It quickly threw a punch at Ezai, knocking Ezai to the floor with massive force.

Ezai got up off the floor, he quickly picked up the Blade of Algori, as he swung it at the golem. The golem blocked the attack.

"AAAHHHHH!!!!!, Excuse me, I didn't introduced myself. Sorry about that."

My name is: "REGOR TEJORI," IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, YOU SHOULD KNOW WHO I AM. BUT, ALLOW ME TO SAY IT ANYWAY. I AM THE GEM GUARDIAN OF GRAVEL ROAD. NOW, HOW ABOUT WE CONTINUE."

Regor slammed Ezai to the ground without hesitation. With Ezai on the floor now, Regor showed no mercy, he jumped at Ezai and slammed Ezai to the floor again. Ezai coughed up massive amounts of blood. The ground began to rumble and shake more violently than before. It was so violent, the ground split, cracks were all over the floor. In a matter of seconds, Ezai began to get blurry vision.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!, DAMN IT!!!!!!" Ezai screamed in pain, as he wipes the blood from his mouth

Suddenly, without warning, Ezai was punched at the side of his face. Ezai flew through a bunch of trees. Ezai once again, coughed up a lot of blood.

"IF YOU DON'T GET UP, YOU WILL DIE."

"LEAVE NOW WHILE YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!, todays not my day huh. Fine. Enough playing around." Ezai said as he got up off the ground

"EZAI!!! I know why your here. Hahahaha" Regor said

"LEAVE NOW WHILE YOU CAN!!!!"

Ezai quickly placed all the gems in the Blade of Algori as soon as he did, the blade turned a bright rainbow color and the tip of the blade emitted a toxic gas which was covered in black flames. Ezai ran at the guardian with this now enhanced blade.

"HMMM, WHAT'S THIS?!!!!" Regori screamed

"NO, NO, NO!!, my friend, IT'S ALGORI TIME!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Ezai said to the ghost

Ezai quickly sliced through Regor's chest, the black flames devoured his remains faster than Ezai could blink. In a matter of seconds, the black flame ate away the surrounding rocks and dirt on the road in just a few seconds. Ezai quickly took out the gems.

"DAMN!!!!!!, that was a close one." Ezai said, as he wiped the blood from his mouth

"I'll admit, he was strong, but clearly I was better" Ezai said with a smirk on his face

Ezai saw a shiny gem embedded in the ground. Ezai used the blade to forcefully pull it out.

"Nice, another gem" Ezai said

Pleased by his victory, the ghostly figure smiled at Ezai as it disappeared.

"That must be Inromia" Ezai said

Ezai saw the gates leading to his next destination, Inromia.

"Alright, here we go" Ezai said, as he walked in the gates
